We’re going to take a short break from the problem of private query release to develop another fundamental technique in differential privacy. Don’t worry – we’ll soon use this to improve our query release algorithms. Suppose that a data analyst wants to know the answers to k adaptively chosen, low-sensitivity queries on a private database. At the moment, the only way we know how to handle adapt...

image memory access, such as an access to a region This paper describes a high speed raster-to-vector conversion technique which is applicable to many fields in drawing processing. The major feature of the proposed technique is that raster-to-vector conversion can be realized by one simple raster scanning process to an input image and by processings performed only with contour tracking due to t...

In this chapter we characterize the role of b, which is the constant in the standard form of the solution provided by the Support Vector Machine technique f(x) = P i=1 αiK(x,xi) + b, which is a special case of Regularization Machines. In the process, we describe properties of Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces induced by different classes of kernels.

Given an undirected network G(V,A,c) and a perfect matching M of G, the inverse maximum perfect matching problem consists of modifying minimally the elements of c so that M becomes a maximum perfect matching with respect to the modified vector. In this article, we consider the inverse problem when the modifications are measured by the weighted bottleneck-type Hamming distance. We propose an alg...
